[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]I picked this up from another thread regarding the various nicknames that we use here in the IC Forums so I thought I would elaborate on mine - ShotoJuku.
To begin, I have been studying/teaching Japanese ShotoKan Karatedo since 1971. The founder of Shotokan - Gichin Funakoshi used the pen name of "Shoto" meaning "Pine Waves" and his style was subsequently called Shoto-Kan.
I use a derivative of ShotoKan retaining Shoto but added Juku meaning "special or private school" thus - ShotoJuku.
How about some of the other nicknames out there????[/COLOR][/SIZE]

I have zero creativity so all I could think of was LIBeral ARTs MaJ(G)oR - I switched the "j" for a "g" for kicks.
However since my name is Joanne, I've been called Jo, JoJo, Joan, Joanna, and I have actually seen people write my name as Joean. Go figure.

"Yoot-sidge" or "yut-sidge".
I thought it was Polish.
"Dawn" is a lot easier to pronounce!
actually, dawn is alot easier to pronounce. i have never been involved in a board so i didn't know how it really worked with the name deal. you guys are my first! snazz is close on pronounciation, "yout-see" (like could and should) and the "j" is for my husband's name: jeff. yutzy is a very commom amish name, along with yoder, troyer, and miller. my husband's great grandfather was amish, with the buggies and all, and left the order. even though it is only five little letters, having 2 y's and a z really confuses people when i have to spell it for them. i have gotten every variation imaginable. hilarious my kids like our last name, it's great for sports, i guess, sometimes their friends call them 'yutz', pronounced just like it is spelled, with a short u.  it's kinda like a nickname, my son even had it put on his class ring. it really is a novelty name.

My name is probably pretty obvious. I would "starve to death" without a steady diet of good books. I have even been known to buy a book before food so "bookeater" just seemed appropriate. Instead of being an omnivore I'm a librevore.

I was big into knights, chivalry, William Wallace (Braveheart), bravery, etc. in my early years on the Internet. I used to dream of being knighted... Jake is my first name (not Jacob), so "SirJake" was the name I chose at some point and it has stuck. I'm so used to it that I usually don't even think about it anymore.
I'm an engineer. Go figure.

Librevore
[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="3"]The prefix of "O" is significant to "Chief, Head of, Leader" etcetera.
It ("O") literally stands for "great" but as with many Japanese words and meanings they do not translate well (clearly/accurately) into English.
